Quick Tips:

* To stop lipstick from bleeding, use a lipliner, or apply foundation over the lips first.

* If you have big lips, use muted colours such as purples, browns and bronzes.

* If you have small lips, avoid dark colours.

* Professionals prefer to use a brush for lipstick application. Brushes generally allow you to use much less lipstick.

The colors that suit you are:

* Light blondes can use wines, berry's and mauves. They also suit cappuccino colours.

* Golden blondes should use corals, apricots or peachy hues.

* Blondes with olive skin tones are best suited to warm peaches, browns or terracotta's.

* Brunettes suit terracottas, cinnamon's and brown tinted reds.

* Red heads can use warm terracotta colours, cinnamon's and peachy browns.
